The Macintosh Portable was actually the very first portable computer by Apple and, possibly, the most impressive laptop of its era, what with its cutting-edge display, 16Mhz 16-bit processor, 40MB hard drive and price tag of $7300. Thankfully said pioneering laptop can be grabbed for much less via this Apple Macintosh 5120 PortableeBay auction.

This particular Mac comes with an extra megabyte of RAM, has had its logic board recapped and comes with a modem card, PSU and trackball. Though it does work and according to its seller/restorer has passed all tests, there are a few problems: the HDD cannot be accessed and sometimes floppy disks are not ejected. So, do have a careful read of the auction text before you bid please.

Despite its many shortcoming, lack of success and relatively few games, there's definitely something that makes Atari's Jaguar an alluring beast.

The point of this post is that you can grab a lovely, working Atari Jaguar on eBay. The highest bidder will also be getting the AV cable, the power adapter, a controller a eight games including the excellent Tempest 2000, Doom and NBA Jam.
